Language: The speech and Q&A will be in English

"Japan's Road to Casinos"

The Integrated Resort Implementation Bill eased its way through the Diet in June, opening up the way for Japan to start building casinos. With the national government and local governments eagerly eying up casino resorts, the question is now more "What and how? " rather than "If or when. " Casinos could be up and running by 2025, and with millions of tourists splashing the cash in Japan, gambling is likely to take hold pretty fast.

To give us an idea of what we can expect – and perhaps who we can expect – when casinos hit Japan, David Bonnet will come to the Club to give us an insight as to how events will likely pan out.
